Well, first there's the choice of headwear. Be original.
Then there's the venue---malls are good, stores with the fewer employees the better.
Bring someone with you to yell at, or at least a cellphone. Both is best.
Be disruptive in your own idiosyncratic way, and stick around a while, don't rush off.
Launch into a racist monologue, disregard personal space, and generalize about groups of people starting with "eye-" a lot. Make good use of all that practicing of withering sneers in the mirror.
The more lipstick you have on your teeth while grimacing at incompetent sales staff, the better.
Contradict yourself frequently to see if that idiot sales girl is listening.
If you can let your two year old cry for 40 minutes in your back-sling while browsing, you are disqualified for having certainly taken too many meds already today.
Ask for an item you haven't actually purchased since 1958, and see how long you can make the other idiot sales girl look for one in her stock room. Demand someone drive it to your house when they find it.
Make her call some other stores in her chain for said item while you are arguing with your daughter-in-law on the cell phone and your sullen 13-year old is yelling at you from the front of the store to hurry up because her grandmother is at the candy store with her hands in the jelly bean bins again.
Finally attempt to pay for a $1.99 magazine with a gift card from a different store, yelling at the 13-year old who's already yelling at grandma across the food court who's yelling into her cellphone because there's no reception in the marble food court area, leaving your leaking sticky half-sucked-down smoothie cup on top of the $1.99 magazine you did not buy because your next three credit cards were declined while your ringtone marathon was underway before your purse spilled out onto the floor blocking the now three-deep line of shoppers behind you pinched-lipped and seething and starting to snarl at the only idiot sales girl still at the register.
Nice work!! You win!! Onward to the next venue! We've got the whole day ahead of us! Let's try some no receipt returns and 8 year old coupons from the Bahamas while bringing your alarm-triggering shopping bags from the designer rack store while telling everyone how much cheaper everything here is at Costco. Stand in front of the blaring alarm indefinitely. Then sneer and call for the manager.
